Notary Office - 17 x 20
“Every notary carries about inside him the debris of a poet.”― Gustave Flaubert, Madame BovaryThe Notary's office stood at the end of a dimly lit corridor in a building that seemed older than the city itself. The brass nameplate simply read "Public Notary - Documents Authenticated," though the letters appeared to rearrange themselves when I wasn't looking directly at them.I needed a simple document notarized – my grandmother's will. The appointment was set for 11:55 P...
Two Story House for Two Families - 20 x 25
“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”― Leo Tolstoy, Anna KareninaWhen we moved into the duplex on Sycamore Street, the realtor mentioned the previous tenants had left abruptly. "Family matters," she said, avoiding eye contact. She never mentioned which family – the ones upstairs or down – or why the wall between the units was so thick.At first, the arrangement seemed perfect. Two stories, two families, divided by solid construction. The ...

National Museum of Natural History - 35 x 35
“Real museums are places where Time is transformed into Space.”― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of InnocenceThe night shift at the Natural History Museum seemed like the perfect job for my doctoral research. Quiet halls, unlimited access to the collections, and time to study the new Mesopotamian artifacts we'd recently acquired. If only I'd paid more attention to the warning scratched inside the ancient clay tablet: "What is preserved here remembers its life."It started in the Hal...

First National Bank - 21 x 40
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”― Henry FordAs the new night security guard at First National Bank, they told me three rules: never enter the vault alone, never use the old pneumatic tube system, and never, ever respond to sounds coming from the safe deposit box room after midnight.I should have listened.The bank's marble halls were different a...

Public Service - 25 x 17
“He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.”― Franz KafkaThe fluorescent lights buzzed overhead as I took another number from the dispenser. B-247. They were currently serving A-12. I had been here for what felt like days, though my watch insisted it had only been hours.The Public Service Building was a labyrinth of identical corridors, numbered windows, and endless forms to be filled out in triplicate. I only needed to submit a simple permit application, but each window...
H.P.L. Tower - Rooftop Piano Bar - 30 x 30
“The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind”― Maria Cristina Mena, The Collected Stories of Maria Cristina MenaForty-three stories above Manhattan, the Skyline Piano Bar was the epitome of elegance. Crystal chandeliers, mahogany panels, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the city lights. But it was the piano – a pristine Steinway – that drew me there every night at exactly 11:45 PM.I'm the building's night secur...

Herber's House - 25 x 25
“Love is like a brick. You can build a house, or you can sink a dead body.”― Lady GagaI've been a realtor for twenty years, but I'll never forget my last showing at Herber's House. The property had been on the market for decades, passing from agent to agent, each of us failing to close the deal. Now I know why.The Victorian mansion sat at the end of Maple Street, its gabled windows staring down at visitors like hollow eyes. The previous owner, Old Man Herber, had been an archit...
Pocket Park - 25 x 25
“I don’t like you, Park. Sometimes I think I live for you”― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & ParkThey said building a pocket park in the middle of our concrete jungle would bring life to the neighborhood. We just didn't expect it to bring something else entirely.I'm the groundskeeper, or at least I was, until last Tuesday. That's when I first noticed the peculiar behavior of the morning joggers. They'd enter through the wrought iron gates, past the carefully manicured flower bed...

Type VII U-Boat Submarine - 50 x 15
“The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.”― Edsger W. DijkstraThe sonar ping echoed through the cramped corridors of U-557, a haunting melody in the crushing depths of the North Atlantic. As the submarine's historian documenting its restoration, I thought I knew every inch of this Type VII U-boat. I was wrong.Three hundred meters below the surface, I traced my fingers along the cold steel walls, documenting t...
Outdoor Storage Units - 33 x 33
“You don’t need more storage space you just need to manage the things that you have and keep only the absolutely necessary and those things which give you joy in your day to day life.”― Marco D. Rogers, Tidy Home and Decluttering: Save time to Tidy, Declutter and Organize Your HomeThe fluorescent lights flickered overhead as I pulled into Lane C of the Outdoor Storage facility. The sun had long since dipped behind the mountains, casting long shadows between the endless rows of metal door...

Rural Motel - 46 x 23
“This place is dark.” “Some of us like the dark. It’s what we know.”― Simone St. James, The Sun Down MotelAs night fell, an old neon sign flickered " vacancy" above Mel's Motel - the only lodging for miles on this desolate stretch of highway. The woman at the check-in desk eyed me coldly as I took a key, her painted lips tight.The room was sparse but tidy, albeit with an indefinable air of menace. Outside, an unsettling tranquility lay over isolated cabins devoid of life....

Private Investigator and Dentist Offices - 15 x 20
“Life is like being at the dentist. You always think that the worst is still to come, and yet it is over already.”― Otto von BismarckThe dusk light was fading as I entered the tiny private investigator's office located in a run-down building. Files and papers were strewn everywhere, like the P.I. had left in a hurry.I began sifting through the case notes, hoping to find clues as to his whereabouts. But the more I read, the more disturbing the details became. Strange symbols and phrases...

Semi-Detached Houses - 25 x 30
“It is easier for a man to burn down his own house than to get rid of his prejudices.”― Roger BaconAs dusk fell over the quiet suburban street, I walked past rows of semi-detached houses looking identical from the outside. Behind drawn curtains, anything could lurk hidden from view.Pausing outside one, muffled sounds drifted from within - whispers just past hearing, hints of movement beyond the threshold. Peering through a gap in heavy drapes, shifting shadows held alien geometry in flicke...
Tomb of Tutankhamun - 27 x 20
“When the world says,Give up.Hopewhispers..Try it one more time.”― King TutankhamunAs the sun sank below desert sands, our expedition entered the newly discovered pharaoh's tomb. Carvings inlaid with precious stones told of Tutankhamun's journey, yet an air of menace permeated cramped passages.Torches cast jagged shadows amongst artifacts left undisturbed for millennia. We measured decorative sarcophagi and canopic jars holding unsettling contents. But an inner chamber at the tomb&...

Video Store - 20 x 30
“A picture is worth a thousand words.......and a video is worth a million pictures.....”― Ankala SubbaraoAs evening fell, fluorescent lights flickered on within the aging strip mall. I wandered past shuttered storefronts towards the fading glow of the video store at the end.Through its smudged windows, shadowy forms moved amid sagging shelves packed with faded boxes. The cramped interior was littered with cobwebs and dust, tapes splayed across Formica counters as if disturbed in haste.A st...

French Hill Library - 26 x 26
“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”― Albert EinsteinThe old stone library rose against the gathering twilight, arched windows gazing outward into the deepening gloom. I pushed through its heavy wooden doors, seeking a quiet nook to study.Dusty rows of books stretched endlessly into shadows, knowledge both enlightening and forbidden contained within faded covers. Creaking floorboards broke the stillness, echoes drifting down empty aisles.Deeper...
Ceremonial Camp - 35 x 35
“Everything is ceremony in the wild garden of childhood.”― Pablo NerudaAs night fell, strange chanting echoed through the dense forest. I pushed through clinging brambles towards the source - a clearing occupied by curious structures.A large fire pit's glowing coals cast flickering shadows across a huge monolith beneath a starless sky. Between leaning prayer poles hung fetishes that twisted on the wind with an eerie creaking.Deeper in lay tents bearing sinister tools and symbols unknow...
Movie Theater - 28 x 44
“Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out”― Martin ScorseseAs dusk fell, sparse patrons filtered into the decaying movie palace. Dusty velvet drapes parted to reveal cracked plaster walls where rats scratched. I chose a seat near the back, avoiding gazing at stains covering others.The projector clattered to life, flickering images resolving into a slasher flick I'd seen before. Yet this version held abnormalities - scenes extended into gruesome territory, charac...
